But when he completes the switch, Kane will also become the latest in a long line of stars to have played abroad professionally.
SunSport have assembled a squad of the best players currently appearing for a non-British team, starting with Kane and the most expensive English player of all time – Jude Bellingham.
Bellingham joined Real Madrid in a £115m transfer from Borussia Dortmund in June.
He had been linked with a move to Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain respectively before swapping Germany for Spain, but eventually insisted on joining the 14-time Champions League winners.
The 20-year-old midfielder has already scored once in four pre-season appearances for Los Blancos.
And he is set to play a huge role in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad when the new La Liga campaign kicks off.
England midfielder Jordan Henderson has also completed a huge move abroad this summer.
